Hide and Show Helmet, Hats and Hoods in a Single Click
MCM Menu Toggle and or Hotkey Toggles any Helmet using the Circlet Slot
No More Comparability Patches!
Works with all and any Mod or DLC.
How it works: Using the MCM Toggle option or Toggle Hot key, will cause the equipped helmet to have it's head, hair and ear slots removed, leaving the circlet and any other slots in place. The helmet is then "refreshed" through equipping then removing a blank object. When Toggled a second time or unequipped/removed from inventory, the helmet will revert to it's original slots.
Because of how Skyrim works, this change will effect all helmets in the game that are the same type (for example all iron helmets), but as the helmet must be refreshed to see any changes, you will only see this change if a character wearing the same helmet as you equips an item or is loaded with the same helmet on. (This includes changing weapons or scripts from other mods that equip items such as Dual Sheath Redux.)
Version 2. 04 - Circlets now supported - Added few changes made by Rekol's updated scripts. - Removed all biped slots from hidden helmets - Added safe guard to stop the script from stacking helmet checks to avoid the mod breaking if switching helmets quickly. It is still possible to break the mod if you hotkey two helmet using the favorites menu and switch between them very quickly while a helmet is hidden. A clean save will fix the issue.
Version 2. 03 - Fixed corrupted edits Thanks to Matortheeternal

Version 2. 01
Fix - Helmets from other mods that don't include a circlet slot can now be toggled also These helmets will still stack when equipped with hidden helmets which only use the circlet slot.
Version 2. 0
